Treating myself

Today I got myself a great treat

I've always wanted a hammock 

We had one years ago that we had strung between two poles but I wanted one I could move around and if 

I really wanted I could take anywhere 

Well I found this today at Aldi

Yup. My favourite store!

 

It had this little panel and even though in the past, this has been an outright lie I decided I'd 

Give it a go 

 

It really was easy and took no time at all

So now I'm blogging in my new hammock. Enjoying the breeze

All I need now is someone to keep giving me drinks!

Film review. Rogue one

 

Last night hubby and I were picked up by our son and daughter in law and we all went off to see the new start wars movie

Rogue one

It's the latest instalment in the franchise and although it isn't actually part of the major story line. It is about an incident that is 

A very important part of the story 

So it fills in some gaps for those of us that wondered what did happen during that time 

If your a fan, it's a must see 

If your not well it's still a fantastic movie and it just might get you addicted to the whole drama

I highly recommend it

That was Christmas

Here we all are Christmas Day at my sister in laws house. 

It was sooooo hot but we all had a great day 

 

 

There are a few of us lol 

 

Melody with some her mums cousins. 

Her god mother keeping an eye on her. She was so good. And was the life of the party lol 

 

Boxing Day was spent at my parents house for my families Christmas get together 

Thank goodness it was a cooler day 

 

Perfect for the traditional lamb on the spit 

 

Melody loved her first lamb a la Greek style

 

So that's it for another year. 

So very tired now. But happy

Hope you all had a wonderful time with your family and friends

Hot, dam hot!

Christmas morning and it's hot already 

I, going to my sister in laws house so I won't be here to check on the pets for a few hours 

 

So we have moved the birds to where they can get any nice southerly breezes 

 

And given them an ice block each to keep them cool and provide constant cool water 

 

The dogs water has been brought in under cover and has had heaps of ice added.  Again to keep it cool while I'm not here to do it 

 

And the chickens have been given a bowl of ice. As well as their usual water source 

Now I can leave them and know they will bare fine until I get back 

Then I'm betting we will all have a huge water fight!

Enjoy your day everyone

Merry Christmas

One down. A couple to go

Here we are all set up for our work Christmas BBQ 

Our boys, their partners and their kids were here today so we could just have good food, a few drinks and a 

Lots of laughs

Both couple have a little girl each and one couple are expecting their second baby any day now!

It's all very exciting

So presents were giving to the little ones, and they had a ball running around and playing 

While the adults just relaxed 

I always love this day

Didn't get any pics of everyone here. I was busy just having a lovely time 

A few more Christmas dinners to enjoy,

The diet is going to get a bit of a beating. 

Lots of walking in my future I think lol

Not exactly to plan

 

 

This little corner has given me a bit of a headache. 

Not as Zen as it looks right now 

This Buddha was at the reject shop. I had been looking at him for a few weeks. 

Wasn't sure where I would put him. So I left him there while I pondered 

Well I decided to move the dogs couch from that wall. I moved it closer to the house. As when it pours rain 

It comes through the crack between the two roofs and wets it. 

Not always. But when it's coming down hard the cutters just cannot cope. 

Which left me a bare wall

Over the weekend I purchased the wall art and began the drama that was the production of the zen space 

As you can see. It's not centre. That's because that's where the stud is. Therefore that is the only place we can screw the artwork safely. 

As we have besser , concrete,  walls. We have never needed a stud finder 

So off we went to bunnings hardware to purchase a stud finder as we couldn't find it without one. 

So now we have a stud finder, which we will probably never use again.

Anyway. That little Buddha came into mind again. But again I wasn't sure 

Then I saw him at a friends facebook page. He looked lovely 

She lives in Adelaide so we won't have people saying we both had the same things 

This little Buddha has a solar light and a solar water pump. 

I knew it wouldn't get the sun where I wanted to place it. So I read on the box it had a five meter cord 

Great I thought. I can place that in the sun

What I didn't know. Is that cord is for the pump. I'm not fussed about the pump. What I really wanted was the light. 

But the solar panel for the light is at the back of his head 

See the problem. 

I was not a happy camper. 

Don't like it when plans don't work. 

So I went looking for another Buddha bust to put here and I was going to move this one to somewhere it can get sun 

But I count find anything I liked 

So for now he stays. The cords have been put away safely

And I've added the pots and plants 

So now I'm just going to chill out and let the universe take care of it 

Thinking a few crystals and something to hold incense in and it's done 

Well what do you think?  

I'm happy. For now

A little bit of prevention

This is a water fountain for cats. 

Not it doesn't spurt water high into the air 

But gently reticulates it keeping it fresh and aerated 

Last week. While brushing Agatha I notice she had a little "dandruff" 

He fur has also been feeling funny in that area as well. Just on her back at the base of her tail 

I checked for fleas and I treated everyone for fleas, as I do every month and I couldn't see any

So I got onto google and found out that it could be from lack of water

I do know. She is very fussy with the water. And will meow at me at least once every few days telling me she didn't like the stuff in the water dish 

I do change it every day. But sometimes by the end of the day she just won't drink it. So I have to give her fresh stuff 

Anyway this water fountain keeps it moving. And it has a filter as well

So this week. I have noticed she is drinking more, there is more wee in the kitty litter. And her fur is starting to feel nice and soft again 

If this hadn't worked. The we would of been to the vets to test for diabetes 

Looks like this won't be necessary now 

It wasn't cheap, but it at $70.00. It was th cheapest one there 

Money well spent I think 

I'm very happy. She is happy
